Inox Air Products filed IPO papers with Sebi on Wednesday for an offer for sale of 7.7 crore shares. The industrial and medical gas maker reported a 4% rise in FY26 net profit to Rs 914 crore. Since there is no fresh issue, the company gets no money from this.
Synopsis
Inox Air Products has filed IPO papers with Sebi for an issue entirely comprising an OFS of 7.7 crore shares, with no fresh issue component. The industrial and medical gas maker reported a 4% rise in FY26 net profit to Rs 914 crore and 9% growth in revenue to Rs 3,034 crore.
Inox Air Products has filed its draft red herring prospectus (DRHP) with Sebi for an initial public offering (IPO), with the maiden issue entirely comprising an offer for sale (OFS) of 7.7 crore shares by existing shareholders and no fresh issue component.
Inox Air Products, a joint venture between US industrial gas maker Air Products and Chemicals and India's INOX Group, filed its IPO paper with Sebi on Wednesday. Promoters Prodair Corporation and INOX Chemicals are among the selling shareholders in the OFS.
Since there is no fresh issue component, none of the IPO proceeds will be received by the company, as all of them will be directed towards the selling shareholders.
Inox Air Products is a manufacturer of industrial and medical gases, with 57 operating locations in India and merchant liquid gas capacity of 5,106 tonnes per day as of March 2026. It competes with Linde India, India's largest listed industrial gases company, and Ellenbarrie Industrial Gases, which debuted on the market last year.
Kotak Mahindra Capital Company, Citigroup Global Markets India, ICICI Securities and JP Morgan India are the book running lead managers for the issue, while MUFG Intime India (formerly known as Link Intime India) is the registrar to the issue.
Live Events
This comes after Reuters earlier this year reported Inox Air Products is planning to launch a $1 billion IPO. The company reported nearly 4% year-on-year rise in net profit to Rs 914 crore for the financial year 2026 from Rs 880.9 crore reported in the previous financial year. Its revenue from operations meanwhile increased nearly 9% YoY to Rs 3,034 crore during the financial year which ended on March 31, 2026, from Rs 2,790 crore in FY25.
Booming IPO market, crashing stock market
India’s IPO market, meanwhile, has been speeding up, even as the equity market faced the brunt of soaring bond yields and surging oil prices amid the raging Middle East conflict. Sensex and Nifty are heading towards their eighth week of weekly losses, which would mark the first time since the Dot-com bubble burst in 2001. The stock market is set to surpass the 2020 Covid crash and 2008 global financial crisis in terms of the number of consecutive weeks of losses.
More than 50 companies filed their DRHPs with Sebi in September, making it the busiest month of the year for such submissions. In September 2025, 55 companies made filings, including confidential ones.
Experts suggest the rush is being driven by a regulatory deadline as Sebi allows companies with a March 31 fiscal year end to use their audited annual results in a DRHP only until September 30. After that, issuers need to update their filings with recent financials, adding to the work involved and potentially delaying the IPO process.
